Thank you all for the many comments, questions and suggestions. Particular thanks go to user x.15a2 for constantly monitoring, replying and helping so many users here. To continue these discussions, please head over to the DuckDuckGo subreddit.

I don't know about ixquick, but gibiru just seems to be a (poorly formatted) Google scrubber.

Each does things a bit differently in terms of privacy and very differently in terms of results. And not all go as far as DuckDuckGo in some aspects. However, none store your personal information by default, which make them all pretty safe in our opinion.

Scroogle is just a Google-scraper; Ixquick is a meta search engine. Ixquick has native (meta) image and video search, but they miss many of the goodies (like !bang and zero-click info) that DuckDuckGo offers.

I use Ixquick sometimes but the formatting is hard to read and has a lot of junk answers/ads. It provides cached results, which as far as I know, ddg does not, yet cached answers are still hard to read. So far I like ddg for most things. I use it for any remotely personal search. It's given me good results and I trust the privacy rules. So DDG for sure.
